Critic Reviews

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    An unusually dull slasher...

  • Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict

    Reeker is so cinematically bi-polar that it should come with a complementary prescription for Lithium.

  • Brian Webster, Apollo Guide

    Extras on the disc include a 'making of' featurette and a photo gallery.

  • Brian Webster, Apollo Guide

  • Anton Bitel, Film4

    Usually trailer reels do not warrant a mention, but there is the unmistakable whiff of irony in the inclusion on this DVD of a preview for Perfume.

    Slasher meets the supernatural here but is such really a sickly mixture of many films that have come before it. Though this doesn't harm many of the latest films released this is just so similar it practically gives away its own plot and then treats the audience like an idiot by… More

  • Jens S


    Taking a road trip to a desert rave five young people have to stop in a rundown motel for the night and have to go through the nightmare of their lives. That's not exactly new as far as slasher movies are concerned, but rather well done and with a few nice scares. The bad guy /… More

    It's basically Dead End with serial slasher elements and less tension or atmosphere.
